Whole Brown Chorie for Spiced Curries and Coconut Gravies

Topop Cow Peas (Brown Chorie) - 1kg is a bag of dried whole brown cow peas, labelled Brown Chorie and Produce of India on the pictured pack. Their earthy, nutty flavour complements ginger, garlic, tomato and coconut, while the whole pulses add a substantial texture to curries and stews. These are brown chorie cow peas, not the cream-coloured black-eye beans sold separately, green garden peas or split dal. They require preparation and thorough cooking and are not canned or ready to eat.

Why Choose Topop Cow Peas (Brown Chorie) 1kg?

The whole-bean format gives a curry distinct pieces rather than the smoother consistency of a split-pulse dish. Cook the beans until fully tender, then keep them intact or mash a portion into the gravy to thicken it. The 1kg bag lets you measure out separate portions for a tomato-based curry, a coconut gravy or a vegetable stew. Keep the remaining dry cow peas tightly sealed between recipes.

Sort through the cow peas and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried whole cow peas for soaking, draining and cooking requirements. After any required soaking, drain and cook in sufficient fresh water until tender throughout, checking the centres and maintaining enough liquid. Soaking alone does not make the beans ready to eat. When combining with quick-cooking vegetables, cook the beans fully first or follow a recipe that coordinates both cooking stages. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's guidance for pulses, liquid quantities and maximum fill level.
